PAWS Enforcement Module ™ Installation and Operation This document describes how to correctly install and operate a PAWS Enforcement Module™. The PAWS Enforcement module is used with the PAWS SIDEKICK™ and the PAWS ™ vehicle tracking unit to verify vehicle occupancy for HOT lane use. These instructions cover what you need to know to get your PAWS Enforcement module up and running: • Battery Installation • Enforcement Module Installation • Operation About the PAWS Enforcement Module When an Enforcement Module detects a vehicle's PAWS device, it will display the vehicle information including make, model, color, and license plate, along with the occupancy setting. If the buzzer switch is on, the EM signals a read with an audible tone. You can hear the tone directly from the device or through headphones, if connected. PAWS ENFORCEMENT MODULE Installation and Operation v1.0 | Publication Number 16-0015-001 Page 1 of 6 PAWS Enforcement Module Kit The kit includes the following items: • PAWS™ Enforcement Module • Suction cups • Clip • Handlebar clamp You need to provide two (2) AA batteries for operation. Non-rechargeable lithium batteries are recommended for maximum life. Some high capacity alkaline batteries and rechargeable batteries will also be sufficient but have shorter lifetimes. Battery Installation The Enforcement Module battery compartment is on the back of the device. The battery cover slides out, revealing the location for two side-by-side batteries. The correct battery polarity is shown inside the compartment. Battery compartment Door (removed) Enforcement Module Installation You can operate the EM as a handheld unit. With the optional parts included in the kit, you can also attach the unit to: • A vehicle visor with a clip; • Inside the windshield with either double-sided adhesive or suction cups; or • Motorcycle handlebars with a clamp. PAWS ENFORCEMENT MODULE Installation and Operation v1.0 | Publication Number 16-0015-001 Page 2 of 6 Operation The EM emits a radio wave straight out from the back of the unit, so you aim it by holding the unit with the display in view, then turning so that the target car is directly ahead. However, the radio wave is not narrow like a laser beam--it has a definable width that allows it to detect objects away from the direct line of sight as well. While you may use any convenient hand position that does not block the display, we recommend that you hold onto the left side of the unit, so as not to interfere with the display. Switch Functions Hold here POWER OFF/ON: Power for the device. AUDIO: The headphone jack allows you to plug in an optional set of headphones to listen to the buzzer. BUZZER OFF/ON: Disables/enables the audible sound generated when a PAWS is detected. If the buzzer switch is enabled at power up, a beep will also sound about 5 seconds after power on, lasting about 1 second. If you use the headphone jack next to this switch, it disables the normal audio. We strongly recommended using headphones with volume control. Right Side View of Enforcement Module RANGE • Long: For vehicles from approximately 100 to 300 feet away. • Medium: For vehicles from approximately 30 to 100 feet away. • Short: For vehicles up to approximately 30 feet away. Note: Range distances are approximate. LOCK/READ • Read mode: The EM continues to read PAWS devices in vehicles. • Lock mode: The EM stops reading, locks the display and saves the last three vehicles. This setting is the same as putting the unit “on hold.” RECALL You can view the last three vehicles read by moving the switch to 1, 2, or 3, with 1 being the most recent. Top View of Enforcement Module PAWS ENFORCEMENT MODULE Installation and Operation v1.0 | Publication Number 16-0015-001 Page 3 of 6 Power On the Enforcement Module Press the POWER switch on the right side of the unit to the ON position. The Enforcement Module display shows this message on power-up: PAWS ENFORCEMENT Ver XX.XX ...along with a version number, followed by another message showing the Lock/Read setting (see next section). PAWS ENFORCEMENT Ver XX.XX VEHICLE DATA UNLOCKED Next, the EM displays the LOCK or READ setting, depending on how this switch is set. ...or VEHICLE DATA LOCKED PAWS ENFORCEMENT MODULE Installation and Operation v1.0 | Publication Number 16-0015-001 Page 4 of 6 Read a Vehicle Get into position for a clear sight of traffic and optimal EM read range. Set Range based on distance to traffic. • Long: Vehicles 100 to 300 feet away • Medium: Vehicles 30 to 100 feet away • Short: Vehicles 30 feet away Make sure the LOCK/READ switch is set to READ. In READ mode, the EM reads PAWS Sidekick devices automatically—you do not have to press any other switches. Watch the EM display. As it reads, the EM displays the vehicle information and number of passengers. In the example at right, the driver has set the number of passengers to 3. 056 LHR NM BLUE F150 The number of passengers shown on the display should coincide with the number of passengers visible in the vehicle. If not, switch the EM to LOCK mode to capture the reading. If necessary, recall the reading in question (refer to next section). Lock & Recall Vehicle Reading When you see a discrepancy between the EM reading and the actual passenger count in a vehicle, click the LOCK/READ switch to LOCK. With the EM in Lock mode, you can step through the last 3 vehicle readings to pull up the one with the questionable passenger setting. PAWS ENFORCEMENT MODULE Installation and Operation v1.0 | Publication Number 16-0015-001 Page 5 of 6 Move the RECALL switch to 1, 2, or 3 until the reading in question appears. With this information you are ready to follow enforcement procedures. Regulatory and Compliance NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment …

In support of this request, Transcore Amtech Technology Center submits the following information. CONFIDENTIAL FILES Block Diagram Conf BlkDia 05756.pdf Operational Description Conf OpDes 05756.pdf Schematics Conf Schem 05756.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought: The materials set forth in the Operational Description, block diagram, and Schematics, which are segregated, from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission: The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID No: FIH05756 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged: This material includes a detailed theory of operation, circuit diagrams, and schematic. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. ROGERS LABS, INC. 4405 West 259 th Terrace Louisburg, KS 66053 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition: The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm: Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Transcore Amtech Technology Center engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Transcore Amtech Technology Center. 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure: The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Transcore Amtech Technology Center and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties: To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry and standards groups as well as in rule making proceedings of the FCC, the protection sought is narrowly drawn and pertains to certain specific implementations of this radio technology. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure: This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come. This equipment is designed for commercial, industrial, and governmental applications. As such, unlike most consumer equipment, this equipment could be used for more than a decade in some cases. As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will be employed. Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Scot Rogers
